iTunes Music Store takes off, but will Napster roar? "Napster's reincarnation as a pay music store is less than 10 days away. Much like iTunes, Napster will purportedly offer $1 tracks and $10 albums, with 3-machine authorization and unlimited device transfers. It will also offer a larger catalog, initially weighing in at 500,000 songs. [...] I'd put my money on Napster and iTunes before I'd put it on Rhapsody or BuyMusic.com." [Ars Technica]

Low-Cost Supercomputer Put Together From 1,100 PC's: "A home-brew supercomputer, assembled from off-the-shelf personal computers in just one month at a cost of slightly more than $5 million, is about to be ranked as one of the fastest machines in the world." (New York Times via MyAppleMenu) [MyAppleMenu]

Another great story about the G5 supercluster at Virginia Tech.
